[I hope this isn't a double posting - sorry if it is] Hi, I am new to using Kid so please excuse me if this is a silly question. I am trying to write a template for my website in order to abstract the content away from the layout. I am having trouble though because kid doesn't do any variable interpolation within XML comments (I think). I suppose this is a design decision, but I think I have two sensible use cases in my template header:
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"; xmlns:py="http://purl.org/kid/ns#";> <head> <title>${title}</title> <meta name="keywords" content="${keywords}"/> <meta name="description" content="${description}"/> <!--[if gte IE 5.5]> <![if lt IE 7]> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/i/ie.css"/> <script py:if="pngReq" type="text/javascript" src="/i/IEpng.js"></script> <![endif]> <![endif]--> <style type="text/css"> <!-- <![CDATA[ #navigator a#${section} { border-right: 1px solid black; } // ]]> --> </style> </head> I use this template from a Python file like this: -------------------- from kid import Template, XML template = Template( file="page_template.kid", pngReq="true", title="Unit Conversion and Day of the Week", keywords="unit, conversion, factor, date", section="units", description="A list of unit conversion factors and a units calculator. Also a calculator to tell you what day of the week a date fell on.", text=""" blah """) print template.serialize(output="xhtml-strict") -------------------- The interpolation of the title, keywords and description work fine of course, but I have a section using IE conditional comments to only include a stylesheet if the browser is IE (of certain versions) and would also like to sometimes include some IE-specific javascript in the comment block. The second case is where I would like to have interpolation within the inline style declaration (to highlight the section of the site I am in). Can anyone tell me if it is possible to do either of these things? Thank you very much.
